    IMO i dont see no way that Manny Pacquiao can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr,looking at both fighters styles and skills.
    Something else i see in the two fighters are the fact that Floyd has fought a few fighters in his time like Manny,with his high volume punching and come forward style.Pacquiao on the other hand has never faced a fighter with the style or skill level of Mayweather Jr.A fighter as smart in the ring as Floyd or a fighter with the defensive ability and counter punching.
    IMO Mayweather Jr's style is all wrong for Pacquiao,and that will be the deciding factor if the two ever get in the ring...MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

    No one can beat floyd, especially not a club fighter like Manny Pacquiao.

    In order for floyd to lose a fight, he's going to have to be about 50 years old, blind, and not aware the fight is happening.

    You could be right...but on the flip side Floyd has NEVER fought anyone like Manny who has the qualities, natrual ablilities and gifts that Manny has in abundance. Stylistically they BOTH present problems for each other. The work rate, accuracy, speed, explosivenss and power will be hell for Floyd and Floyd speed, accuracy, style and skills will present Manny with a lot of problems. It's a toss up fight in my opinion but feel Manny will give Floyd his first loss if they ever fight.

    Club Fighter?

    Get the **** out of here. If Pac was a club fighter, Floyd would've already fought him twice!

    I think that the fight is interesting because Floyd has never fought a dude in his prime that can throw 1200 punches from all angles with devastating power, relentless stamina, great hand speed, quick feet, tons of heart and a varied, unorthodox in/out attack.

    PBF presents tons of problems for Pac, but to say the reverse isn't true would be a lie.

    That's why it's the fight we all want to see.

    Floyd's style is poison to Pac. I'll be rooting for Pac if this ever comes off, but Floyd will school him with defense and counterpunching.

    I just feel that Mayweather has a neutralizing style.He (Floyd) seems to always find a way to figure his opponents out during the fight.Manny doesn't seem to be a fighter that Mayweather hasn't faced already in his career.
    It will probably all come down to who's smarter in the fight.I think we can all agree that no1 is a smarter fighter then Floyd.

    If Floyd expects to see this version of Manny if they fight he'll be in for a very dissapointing and brutal night. Floyd is gonna have to go into his bag of tricks and implement all of his ability and skill to beat the present version of Manny. And yes.....He can do it. The question is WILL HE? Based on what I've seen I think he has some reservations which will play into Mannys hands.

    will be the most frustrating night for manny in his career.

    manny will look like he was in a car accident...and floyd will be unscathed...

    pacs fans will say mayweather was "running" regardless.

    PBF's length ability to get off first, defense superior footwork and counter punching will lead him to victory over Pac who relies too much on athleticism. Pac's workrate will drop by half he will be frustrated that PBF won't fight his fight while PBF peppers Pac with the jab and clean straight right hands. This will force Pac to become even more reckless which is the wrong thing to do against an elite counter puncher like PBF. Pac's one dimensional style his lack of a jab, his head hunting, the ability to fight on the inside and his inability to cut the ring off effectively will eventually doom Pac in this fight. Pac will be lost in this match up and made to look amateurish at times by the superior boxer in PBF.:deal
